The Carling/Island Park/Holland light cycle can only be crossed in one go by an able-bodied pedestrian moving with a purpose. It's next to two hospitals.

The Ottawa mind cannot comprehend such headways

The forecast, capacity design, service quality manual, typical bus arrival times at hubs (demonstrated in the current every 9:15 weekend service), and 1.5 times the headway used in trip planning... all point to a minimum required midday service frequency of 6 minutes 40 seconds.

Today, I updated the BC Building Code to allow for Single Egress Stair (SES) designs in low- and mid-rise buildings.   By allowing SES, we will boost our housing supply and create more options for families who need larger layouts and designs. 👉🏾 news.gov.bc.ca/31592 🧵[1/4]

I can think of several architects and builders that will enjoy and agree with this thread about planning controls around upper-level setbacks, i.e. apartment buildings that resemble wedding cakes.

Yeah good, lmao

Ten minute LRT headways absolutely suck balls, wtf

Fast food chains in Canada never have to try things like this to "find efficiencies" because we have temporary foreign workers :) #blessed ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/chipotle-…

Ontario's threatening to do the opposite and block bike lanes if they remove a car lane, but it doesn't have to be that way. Small shoots of hope elsewhere.
